Phosphatidyl inositol has been isolated from cauliflower inflorescence and soybean. Analysis of the fatty acid distribution showed that unsaturated fatty acids were preferred at position 2, and that saturated fatty acids were preferred at position 1.Mitochondrial preparations from cauliflower inflorescence were capable of synthesizing phosphatidyl inositol from myo-inositol and cytidine diphosp...

Acute auricular hematoma can be caused by direct blunt trauma or other injury to the external ear. It is typically seen in those who practice full contact sports such as boxing, wrestling, and rugby. "Cauliflower ear" deformity, fibrocartilage formation during scarring, is a common complication of auricular hematomas. Therefore, acute drainage of the hematoma and postprocedural techniques for p...

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of cover crops on pest/beneficial dynamics and to test the potential of living mulch on enhancing biological control against insect pests. The research, carried out in the frame of the InterVeg (Core Organic II) project, involved four European countries: Germany, Slovenia, Denmark and Italy. Three crops were tested: cauliflower, leek and artichok...

Nuclei isolated from cauliflower mosaic virus (CaMV) infected turnip leaves contain subgenomic CaMV DNA species in addition to the genome length CaMV DNA. These subgenomic CaMV DNA species are present as covalently closed circles (form I), relaxed circles (form II) and linear (form III) molecules. The subgenomic form I DNA species range in size from about 10% of genome length to nearly genome l...

Nature has endowed India with many precious gifts, wherein lies its immense potential for the vegetable sector. In dry temperate region of like Ladakh, cauliflower is grown during summer months. Extreme environmental fluctutaions make cultivation not an easy venture. Cauliflower thermo-sensitive crop and identification proper group as well genotype in a particular climate utmost importance. Six...

The efficacy of a bio compound, Protecto (Bacillus thuringiensis) and botanicals extract (mixture ginger, garlic, hot red pepper extracts aloe vera) either in combination with Trichogramma evanescens releases or alone was evaluated comparison to an insecticide, Uphold 36% SC (Methoxyfenozide/ Spinetoram) on Pieris rapae cauliflower Brassica oleracea. Field experiments were conducted at Atfih Di...

Few studIies have been conducted on adenosine triphosphatase (ATPase) in plant mitochondria (3, 5. 6). ATPase activity is important in plant metabolism since it results in the loss of the energy of ATI , and is therefore closely associated with reactions involving phosphorylation and utilization of or requiremiients for ATP. The ternm ATPase is being use(l lhere as defined by Potter (10) to ind...
